Peru Week 2

 Week 2 In Ica Peru has been good. I love how down here the biggest meal of the day is lunch.  Everyone in the mission gets a pinchanista aka a member who makes us food. Mine is great. But some of the time her food has like no seasoning and no sauce. Which would be chill if I could just add a little sauce myself but they only have weird sauces and mayo in these stores, no hot sauce or anything. 



Its great we have a feast made everyday just for us. And she makes crazy good fish. Her house is like a 10 minute walk away. So its a little hassle to retrieve the food, and I swear the walk just keeps getting longer each day. We get an hour to eat so my comp takes advantage and pounds the food and takes a fat nap. I don't blame him, the heat here sucks away all of your energy. He's pretty good at playing the guitar and its always fun listening to some calming tunes.

Food is crazy cheap. 30 eggs is like 6 Peruvian sols and its like 3.33 sols to a dollar. But for some reason energy drinks are like the only thing that still matches the US prices.


The highlight of the week was a lesson we had on Sunday night, with 2 members participating, to teach a convert and her mother. 
An hour goes by and out of nowhere we whip out the laying on of hands and give the daughter a blessing of comfort. Its funny because here I am not able to understand a thing and I'm trying to figure out how in the world did the lesson get to the point of the daughter needing a blessing. After the lesson my comp gave me the lesson analysis on how the daughter was going through a hard time and it all made sense. It was super spiritual that we could help her. I'm sure Elder Turcsanski did a great job with the blessing. Its truly incredible what us missionaries are capable of.

Love you all!

Week 1 in MTC

Finished week one of the MTC and dang it was good, and I knew it would be. Imma start out by saying that everyone has been crapping on this food. But in reality, it’s quite enjoyable for now. Even though it may get the stomach begging for dear life, but that’s alright. If I don’t put on weight here, I’m a lost cause. The Grand Canyon BYU Creamery ice cream is fire, aka gram slam for those with ball knowledge. Spanish is coming fine. Starting full immersion tomorrow. Not being able to speak English in class is gonna be a real challenge but also a huge learning opportunity. By far the best thing of all is my district. I’m blessed to have the best district of all time. Where all so different, it’s like we’re the Avengers. Teachers are chillers. They’re patient and knowledgeable, unlike how it is in school. The MTC is constant laughing with my district; nobody can ever keep a straight face. My companion and district leader, Elder Felix, is cool. He kinda keeps us in line. I got Elder Lowth...

  Wow, I had such an amazing week. Friday was exchanges and I was once again with ZL Elder Huff.  It was my first time being in a different area and I got to spend some time in the Ica central. Carnival is going on right now. Its not a very big celebration in Ica, but it was cool to see, but sadly only for 2 seconds because Elder Huff did not enjoy the crowds. He's as locked in as a missionary can get which is good since I can learn from his ways. Our friend's baptism yesterday was a success. She has bone cancer, which is very tragic, and it made the baptism a whole lot harder. I didn't baptize her but I was still in the font to help out with the process. It was a very spiritual moment for everyone. I've never seem her so happy. Love you all!

The First letter from the Peru Mission President

 Dear Family of Elder Call,  We have met Elder Call and are so thankful for his preparation to serve in the Peru Lima South mission. He is excited about his mission and enthusiastic to begin serving the Lord in Peru. Our mission has a culture of love and conversion. It is our prayer that your missionary will experience a higher level of conversion as he prepares, teaches, and testifies. We make the missionary purpose to “Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, so they can receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end” the focus of every interaction a missionary has with a new friend. Our desire is that your son will soon come to have this missionary purpose written in his own heart as he shares the gospel with others and invites each of them to “Come unto Christ.” With your missionary we were able to visit a centuries-old olive grove near the missi...
